"Meow~"

The little snow leopard looked at Lu Fangfang, then at the fluffy pika, with an innocent expression.

"You eat it yourself, I wouldn't dare let you chew this."

Lu Fangfang frowned, too afraid to take the thing.

Pikachu, pikachu, she really didn't know which one it was more closely related to, but it looked a lot like a mouse.

"Pfft."

Wang Shufen stood to the side, almost bursting with joy.

Little Flower took a few steps, sniffed around the pika, but in the end didn't touch it. It raised its head and looked at Lu Fangfang with an innocent expression.

"Girl, Little Flower is too small, she can't eat yet. Why don't you cut it open and cut some tender meat? I heard from the boss that pikas eat wildflowers and grasses, and their meat is firm and delicious."

"It's delicious!"

Lu Fangfang looked at Sister Shufen in surprise.

Judging from his tone, Xiao Aiguo must have eaten it.

However, considering the scarcity of resources in those days, it's not surprising; they might have been eaten like rabbits.

Lu Fangfang took a deep breath, drew the dagger from her waist, and, suppressing her nausea, severed the pika's head with a single stroke.

Silently repeating to herself, "This is a rabbit, this is a rabbit," she dissected the pika and cut off a tender strip of meat.

The snow leopard cub sniffed the air, immediately unleashing its wild instincts. It opened its mouth and began to tear at the air.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang took the dagger and cut a few more strips of tender flesh from it.

The fat pika was quickly devoured, and Little Flower was only half full.

Lu Fangfang wiped the dagger on the hay, put it back in its sheath, then picked up Xiaohua and stuffed her into the cloth bag.

Only then did she finally relax.

"My goodness, killing a pika is harder than killing a pig."

Lu Fangfang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. In just a short while, her back was soaked.

"Hey girl, hey girl, look, there's another one over there."

Lu Fangfang looked in the direction Wang Shufen was pointing and sure enough, another furry head popped up not far away.

These little guys have dug holes everywhere; they make the most holes on the grassland.

She swallowed hard, no longer having the courage to dissect another rabbit or mouse.

"Sister Shufen, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go, don't waste any more time."

Lu Fangfang pushed Wang Shufen directly onto the path.

As for the small half of the rabbit she left in the grass, it will soon be eaten by other animals.

Besides snow leopards, the Qilian Mountains are home to jackals, Tibetan foxes, lynxes, wolves, Pallas's cats, and the desert cat, my country's only unique feline species. It's practically a paradise for wild animals.

Of course, there were no dangerous wild animals near their troop's location.

When the two arrived at the sixth team, it was already broad daylight, and the team's herdsmen were about to set off with their horses.

After discussing it with Wang Shufen, Lu Fangfang decided not to bother Grandpa Guo anymore and instead rode Old Xu's horse to the foot of Guona Mountain.

The two quickly went to inform Grandpa Guo, and then returned to the horse pen at the village entrance.

The four tomato plants in front of Old Xu's mud-brick house were growing well, with their branches and leaves spread out.

After Lao Xu herded the horses out of the stable, Lu Fangfang found her little red horse among the herd.

"Old Xu, do you still have a whip? Shufen and I will help you urge the horse along the way."

Xu Huayun smiled and shook her head.

"Comrade Lu, no need. I can manage on my own. Just make sure you and Comrade Wang don't fall behind. Be careful on the road. If you really can't manage and fall behind, it's okay. Ride slowly and don't hurt yourselves."

Lu Fangfang scratched her head, feeling quite uneasy after what Lao Xu said.

After Old Xu drove the horse away, she grabbed the saddle and quickly mounted it.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Yang Yufeng riding a bicycle with Zhu Haiming on the back, riding wobbly towards her.

"Sister-in-law Yufeng, be careful, be careful, don't fall."

"Hey, you...you stop right now, no, no, forget it, I'll give you a ride."

Yang Yufeng, panting heavily, slowly stopped her bicycle.

The road was difficult to travel, and she was almost exhausted from carrying Zhu Haiming.

At this moment, she also saw Lu Fangfang, and her eyes lit up. She quickly called out, "Little Lu, wait for me! Comrade Hai Mei said that you and Sister-in-law Shu Fen are going to dig for caterpillar fungus. How about taking us with you?"

Lu Fangfang pursed her lips, gave Sister Shufen a wink, and pretended not to hear.

"Giddy up!"

She patted the horse's rump, gripped the reins, and ran towards Old Xu.

Wang Shufen ignored Yang Yufeng behind her and rode away quickly.

"Hey? Hey? Lu Fangfang? Sister-in-law Shufen? Wait for me!"

Yang Yufeng immediately became anxious. She quickly patted Zhu Haiming in front of her, "Hurry up, hurry up, faster!"

Zhu Haiming pedaled hard on the bicycle pedals, suddenly annoyed. "Yang Yufeng, try hitting me again! What do you take me for? You're so fat, how fast can I go compared to someone riding a horse?"

Forehead……

"I'm fat...that's a blessing."

Yang Yufeng muttered a couple of times, not daring to urge her any further, as she was now relying on Zhu Haiming to freeload off her.

...

"Boom!"

"Giddy up! Giddy up!"

Lu Fangfang pulled on the reins and gradually separated from Sister Shufen. They reached the far left of the horse team, while Sister Shufen went to the far right, and Xu Huayun was in the middle.

Old Xu clearly underestimated her and Sister Shufen.

Not only could the two of them keep up with the group, but they could also share some of the burden with Lao Xu. The three of them drove the horses very fast.

The little flower in the cloth bag didn't come out to cause trouble; it was resting after eating and drinking its fill.
